Re: No Smoking
From my own observations of those around me, it’s the worriers that get taken first. Whether they smoked, drank, exercised, ate healthy food and did everything by the book seems irrelevant, their stress carried them away
I went to a funeral of a good friend not so long ago, one of the most law-abiding men I ever met, who didn’t smoke or drink and went jogging every day. When I looked down into his coffin, I felt like sticking a fag into his mouth and pouring him a large brandy.
That’s what they should ban – stress.
Now about that Spanish town with only a few houses, a square, two bars and a donkey. Where do I find it?

I agree about the worriers though, best not to give a toss, then.........

[QUOTE=Madridboy;8093723]Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!
You think you had it bad then, well let me tell you.
We were poor immigrants to the UK, we lived with four other families and our chickens, in one room.
the only heat we had in the winter was from burning the furniture. We never had meat, we would ask our neighbours if we could borrow the string from their meat, so that we could make some gravy.
Times was ard, very ard.........

Bit of a contradiction there JLFS,....you had chickens but no meat?
If you didn't eat them, you must have had lots of fresh eggs.
Whats more recycled chicken sh!t is a great source of energy,......and furniture as well,......phew,...sounds like paradise to me.
Now we crawled out of our cardboard boxes at 4 in the morning.................................:rof l:

You do have a point, and that is on of the reasons why we did not eat the chickens, because the chicken shit is a great sourse of enery, it tastes bad, though..........
Chickens are good alarm clocks, they woke us up so we could go to our jobs on the milk round before we went to school.
